I was playing GT5 for PS3 last night, kicking my friends ***, what a sick game, best racing game I’ve ever played.
my buddy loves the IS-F so he’s racing with that, I had the GTR for a while which accelerates much quicker but is a loose biatch on the track compared to the IS-F which takes the corners much easier.
If you guys haven’t played the game I suggest you give it a try, especially on a 46' LCD mmmmm

I watched this show on China before, how they breed Olympians, basically they take young children away from their mothers to a special Olympic school where they grow future Olympians.. pretty sick stuff.

I look at this medal thing a little different.
per capita Canada does fairly well.
Chaina ~ 1.321Billion people and 13.2M to one medal
USA ~ 301Million people and 2.7Million to one medal
Russia ~141Million people and 1.9Million to one medal
Great Britan ~60 Million people and 1.27M to one medal
Canada ~33Million People and 1.8M to one medal
So if you look at it this way
GB First!! (1.27M people per medal)
Canada Second!!!!! (1.8Million people per medal)
Russia Third
USA Fourth
China Last in this group with 13.2 Million people to get one medal!!!
Canada Rocks!!!!!!!

They had 5 athletes represent them and one of them took home the bronze in Kayaking...

The only excuse we have as a country is that our government does not provide enough funding towards our olympic program and its athletes.
Our hockey program proves this to be true..

enough about the olympics 
who really cares how many medals we got or didn't get? even if we somehow won 100+ medals, it wouldn't instill more/less patriotism in me.
